"Epic. Who'd you have to protect the border from, other humans or aliens?"

"Humans; we don't have intelligent alien life."

"Awww, would've been cooler if it was aliens."

"It would have. There are movies about it."

"We have movies about aliens too! You should check out Invaders; it's the best."

"I'll have to keep that in mind."

"You pay society back through taxes! The government takes a little cut of most transactions, it can make the cut bigger if it's something antisocial like emitting pollution or waive it if it's something prosocial like charity for the poor, and uses it to fund cops and public schools and government healthcare and so on."

Solemn nod.
